Maybe he once was, but his decline has been pretty sharp. I agree he's still smarter than his base, but just barely—just enough to know what to say to get them foaming at the mouth.
My dad did the same thing! Screwed my chances for financial aide. He did co-sign a loan, about $1500.00 per year for tuition, and I always had a job to feed myself and buy books. Kids today can’t even do that, tuition is so high.
Sad to hear. Parents who don’t help their kids should not have kids. Of course I am in the generation of “none of you were planned.” My younger brother and I were the only ones to make it to 18 at home, but the day he graduated HS he was kicked out.
Or maybe Biden shouldn't have banned Tiktok? The Dems have lost a generation of voters now. It will be a long long time until they win again and it is 100% their fault.
OMG it’s almost like Biden dropped out of the race and there was a completely different candidate running for quite a while who never mentioned banning TikTok!
We value sports heroes over stem stars - we elevate content makers over engineers/scientists. We think that Rambo is the only version of heroism that matters….its easy to see the majority of us don’t value things that matter.
Absolutely! To have access to a good public school education has become a privilege. And I doubt many school districts still require their high school students to take a civics or government class. The decline of public education in the United States allows the continuation of #WhiteSupremacy
That's fact. The literacy rate in the U.S. is abominable. An educated, literate society are an authoritarian and religiously controlled cultures worst enemy.

Yeah, but what's the voting breakdown for the other 46%? Wanna make sure if some are going to infer others are dumb, that it's done via causality and not correlation.
Well that’s because parents don’t take responsibility for their children. There’s no consequences for poor behavior anymore. And everyone whines about more recess and “learning through play.” Money is just the tip of the iceberg.
The 54% probably went to private schools that are not required to teach state standards, give state proficiency tests, get graded on pupil performance growth scores or have licensed teachers! Private schools will get voucher money to undermine good public schools that communities depend on!💙
HA! While Ed Depts R supposedly being dismantled, books banned, & history re-written/eliminated all together, like YT people didn’t come to this country Killing, Murdering, Raping, & as Pedophiles Human Trafficked. My nephew asked why Black people can celebrate there history for a whole month. WTF!
Anti-intellectualism is the ultimate weapon to bring down a nation. Japan and China made education the foundation of their social infrastructure... Compare and contrast if you will.
I spent 50 years of my life in education. It’s too late. Republicans will never invest in education. They’ve been destroying it for years. Bush and NCLB, for example, taking time from instruction to test over and over again only two subjects … reading and math. Dumb ‘em down, so they vote for you.
A woman wrote a small part of the New Testament. Claudia Phoebe (aka Pompeia Plotina), was a daughter of Arrius Piso, the main creator of Christianity. As a wedding gift, he allowed her to write a part of the epistle to the Romans. She married the Roman emperor Trajan.
The New Testament Jesus was a created composite character (fictional). The gospels were written in the form of plays; w/ acts & scenes. The main author was Arrius Calpurnius Piso, he played the part of Jesus in the New Testament. He used his enemies to create some NT characters.
MOST PARENTS WASTED THEIR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND HAVE PASSED THAT ONTO THEIR OFFSPRING- because they can’t help or be bothered about them learning- just see how many attend school open houses or board meetings!🤷🏽♂️
It is interesting that Lynn Cheney was heavily involved in that whole removal of civics and history from the curriculum of high schools because the committees of experts that worked for years wanted to teach ALL of American history and she wanted to teach the white myth. So they settled on none.
I wonder if this is among the positions Liz took as a GOP leader that she has come to question and second guess? Turns out she may have plenty of time to consider and contemplate her answer if Trump has his way with her.
Well, it is in part her mother’s work that American’s have no clue how our country works and how the big money has used ignorance to their advantage. Trump is here now, after her, due to her mother’s work to defend the white Christian view of our history.
It's so sad. People are either angry or compliant. They're the victims of payday loans, can't decipher a contract, and never even LISTEN to a book. Some did not teach their children well, and some did not know how. Teachers are no longer esteemed, and they're paid crap. #InvestInEducation
Trump happened because Biden, Harris & ALL leaders in Congress supported the leaders who committed who attempted the coup, & because Americans just kept praising Biden instead of uniting & pressuring Biden to replace Garland & Congress to expel the traitors.
Newt Gingrich:
"One of Trump’s great advantages is that he talks at a level where 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade educations can say ‘Oh yeah, I get that. I understand it.’"
🤜And... More than 20 million stupid ass democrats wouldn't get up off their sorry asses on election day! That was their investment in education!
And their will deserved education begins Monday!!!🤛
Yeah, the politicians make sure of it. GOP cuts education funding, DNC shrugs. GOP passes NCLB, the DNC yawns. GOP empties the school libraries of entire states and the DNC says "I want some of them in my cabinet!"
that is a very fair question and certainly if I held my self to a std 1/10th as hi as I hold others, I would have a coherent response
but my answer is long and somewhat scattershot, so if you just block me that is fine
1st, IMO, it is never a good look to dunk on or characterize as stupid a large
also I have a PhD; that doesn't make me smart, but means I have been trained to have certain skills
but I work all day with PhDs, and PhDs with a law degree and MD PhDs
and I can assure you , many of them are totally ignorant
That is unfair. Do not forget about the little thing the Catholic Chirch taught Amerikkka. We turned it into an island while our schools were being shot. For profit. I like to take my time out to shout out to every white man who got away with sexual assault. This is what you get! Read more.
This White, not loving, not kind, not warm very Icecold , very Rich mother gave birth to Donald J Trump.
It was a present to the internet / iPhone Living .

BULLYFUN . CRIMEFUN for oligarks ..
He gave Anger🇺🇸 entertainment and the media loved the dollars show.
I am still concerned about the fact that young people entering the workforce today do not know how to make change when given a dollar for a $.79 purchase.
That’s why they want voucher programs for private schools. We are a country of utter morons who will believe a billionaire when he says it’s the democrats fault they’re struggling…um, sure Jan.
lol, god I hate commercials! They show the same ones over and over and over. All that does for me is make me not want to buy it because they fucking annoyed the hell out of me!
As a far far leftist, I can’t stand people spreading election conspiracies. With that being said, as a person who studies data. There’s just no possible way he won all of the swing states. Am I alone?
How about after Joe Biden’s speech the other night all dingbats googled oligarch. Guarantee that’s the first time they did it and they might be in for a big shock. That is if they understand what they read.
This problem was created long ago when education was funded by property taxes. Wealthier areas had better schools, low income areas not so much.
Red lining had a great influence on concentrating minorities in low income/low property tax areas.
The right fears an educated populace, exposure to new thoughts/ideas tends to make people more liberal.
Democratic-socialist Europe has a higher standard of living than the US because their healthcare, education, daycare, mass transit are government subsidized.
We fear socialism more than fascism!
When I was training (in Florida) to be a literacy tutor, one of the volunteers said she was there because her child's school had asked her to help by reading final tests to graduating seniors. 🥺
Reading ability is certainly part of the problem; however, we also have to factor in income levels (and inequality), media propaganda, cultural and health care inequalities, etc.
Over decades, republicons successfully created a messaging arm aimed at the uneducated. The democrats continue to rely on legacy media for their messaging.
A democracy requires an educated and informed populace. Republicans are out to destroy public schools and denigrate higher education. Ignorance is required to elect most of them.
Agree💯
Many forget that due to the Recession in the '90s & especially in 2007-12, all Govs & Leg.s cut public & secondary funding. Most GOP States never returned funding formulas, many DEM States returned a good portion, since.
Few States returned all funding with added funding to account for 2/
student enrollment increases. Collegiate funding never returned, leading to the massive jacks in tuition $$$, use of poorly-paid adjunct professors & massive student debt.
I paid my way through 5 yrs & had no debt (70s/80s). Our 2 daughters worked full-time & had $65K each (w scholarships).🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
You don't merely have to invest in education, you have to rollback the culture that mocks and shuns intelligence as "elitist". People who speak in complete sentences aren't thought of as having a "dark agenda" in a healthy country.
It will likely take two generations. The first generation will have access to free education/healthcare. Once they're healthy/educated, the second generation will understand the benefits of a good education/healthcare and the system will be self-sustaining.
How? He groomed people in his 1st term with cheap gas prices. He expected to win in 2020 and continue his scheme and when he didn't win, he incited an insurrection and hurt people. In 2024, people didn't want a female of color for pres, and they wanted cheap gas again. (grooming worked)
Oh, and he stole the 2024 election.
(Why isn't that being talked about)
When NC and 5 other swing states vote BLUE for Gov, Lt Gov, Attorney General, NC legisture is blue now, and a seat on NC supreme court, but the felon wins in those states, that can't be a coincidence.

Excuse me, can you read above a 6th Grade Level?

“Invest in education!”
GOP, who fully understand who their base is now:
“We must defund then eliminate the Department of Education!”
"One of Trump’s great advantages is that he talks at a level where 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade educations can say ‘Oh yeah, I get that. I understand it.’"
And their will deserved education begins Monday!!!🤛
🤜STUPID, sorry ass son of a bitches!👊 Enjoy!!!

Only for this he would like to swing him until his fuck head explode.

It started under Nixon, and Reagan backed it fully and gave it focket fuel.
As George Carlin said, our country's owner class doesn't want an educated populace; they want us just smart enough to make money for THEM.
Convicted felon and adjudicated sex offender, Trump’s margin of victory was low, and on a low turnout.

The preservation of that is priority one.
Education can cure ignorance, but it can't cure stupid.

School funding is American 'apartheid'!

As of 2024, around 45 million adults in the United States read below a 5th-grade level. This is about 20% of the adult population
NEED TO GET YOUR FACTS TOGETHER
Hopefully they will soon experience for themselves that the stragegy was coased and malicious.
